Great looking mod! I'm really looking foreward to get to play it Thing is.. I will only be able to play it on my mac, so i was wandering will that be possible any time soon?

They have changed the way GLSL shaders work in the latest engine version for Linux and Mac OS X. Now apart from the GLSLShaders folder there's also a GLSLShadersOptimized, which basically boils down to a folder containing preprocessed fragment and vertex programs (this time for direct BRF shader references instead of HLSL techniques) filtered by what looks like GLSLOptimizer output.

It makes my job much muddier. And as of now, I had managed to rewrite the most basic shaders Marco Tarini did in HLSL and get them displaying beautifully.With this change neither Linux and Mac OS X launch okay anymore (they show black screens) until you copy the GLSLShadersOptimized folder from the common directory in the game's root. Then the vanilla shaders look okay, but all the custom techniques in our mod look pretty glitchy, I don't know if you could call it playable.

On the other hand these preprocessed shaders load blazingly faster than the older ones, so props to TaleWorlds.I remember having to wait 5 minutes staring at a black freezed screen every time I wanted to launch TLD in Linux.

Hi! I started a new game with the last nightly build and all the good factions get very low in faction strength. I am now 300 days and Rohan just got destroyed, even though it has Edoras and two other cities and Rivendel and Lothlorien have advanced camps, and Dunland is destroyed. Its strength became 0, but for long before that (strength was more than 500!), the the Rohan lords were going around with 10-15 troops loosing one battle after another. Right now all good factions except Imladris (my faction) have a strength of less than 2000. I try to save them, for the sake of my game, but can not. Normally there is a chance to reinforce lords, but this dialogue option is missing. Do you know why? How can I make this option visible? Or can I cheat to increase the strength or Rohan im my game?
